@Ngash254 responded: “Well done for driving yourself, we can now award you a Nobel peace prize. Nonsense!”
@wambuijl lamented: “I think we were better off when all politicians were quiet. Now we won’t hear the end of their doing things for themselves. Aish.”
@OntiriDun said, “All drivers gather here, applaud and congratulate James Orengo for driving himself, it’s a very big achievement!”
@Toili14 said, “What is in driving yourself? Kenyans want to hear a motion being tabled in parliament to cushion them over the ongoing pandemic. MOST of them have no idea how the rent will be paid forget about their daily single meal!”
@drameloblast joined in: “Had my COVID19 test today. That is enough. The next sentence should be about your legislative responsibilities…”
Ken Odero said: “Politicians really think that driving themselves is such a big deal. What’s wrong with this country? ”
Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen also endured online bashing from Kenyans On Twitter (KOT) on Thursday after he said he was driving himself as his drivers were “working from home.”
